"Brainerd"

also, note "OUR FLAG". america was full of clueless retards even back then

also, Utrecht isnt in Holland, its in the Netherlands.

thats like saying Houston is in the MidWest.

pff, it's been perfectly acceptable to interchange the terms for ages, mr pedantic

It's kinda like how referring to the UK (or 'British' or something) as England makes perfect sense in most non-english speaking countries.

it doesnt, actually.
tell a scotsman he's english. im sure he's perfectly fine with that

I'm saying that if our hypothetical Scot goes to mainland Europe, he shouldn't be surprised or insulted when people refer to him as English more frequently than not. It's a history thing; England is historically the most influential and that's who the rest of the world had to deal with - in our case so was Holland. Those names stuck, abroad moreso than at home perhaps.

our hypothetical Scot might take this from a random person. one would expect some geographical accuracy from a newspaper though

for some reason, the netherlands football team is referred to as holland on UK TV

it's just something stupid that our language and common usage has done.

when someone refers to something stupid "Americans" have done, should people in Canada get offended? Even tho American should and does mean any person in North or South, in common english usage it's understood that an "American" is a citizen of the United States of America.

TBQH this I just learned from you that Holland is a region. I always used the two interchangeably and never really cared to find out why your country had "two names".

And you expecting an American newspaper to accurately know the geography of a foreign country? No way, lol. Rick Sanchez thought Easter Island was Hawaii.

Tut tut, it's Katherine now. Kate is too common for the British monarchy.
